I want to thank my parents for letting me play baseball. I`m thankful I had baseball knuckles and couldn`t become a dentist...I got $2,100 a year when I started in the big league, and they get more money now. ...I chased the balls that Babe Ruth hit.

I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don`t think about it is when I`m playing it.
Carl Yastrzemski
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
Tom Seaver
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.
Nolan Ryan
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire`s eye or on the ball.
Jim Murray
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday`s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That`s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that`s the way baseball is.
